New to the group. Fairly new to lasers as well. Looking for a recommendation. I work in a very loud factory, alot of our communication is non verbal and hand gestures. I thought I might be able to use a laser to point things out to other employees from greater distance. I'm looking for a hand held laser that runs off 18650 batteries. Preferably aluminum body, something with a pocket clip for easy carrying. Something with a focusing lens would be great so i could also use it as a makeshift flashlight with the beam unfocused. I would also like this laser to be dual purpose, as I am an avid outdoorsmen, I'd like to carry it in my pack when camping and hunting to use as an emergency signal or potentially to start a fire. Color of the laser doesnt matter so much, but I guess if I had a preference I'd pick green or blue. I'm not sure what wattage/power I would need to start a fire. I'd like to stay under $100 if it's possible to get one that meets all my criteria. Any tips on makes, models, or if anyone here has one for sale or builds them, please contact me. Thanks in advance for any help and information.
